Split Ends

Split ends are most often seen in long hair but also found in shorter hair that is out of condition and is an affliction of anyone trying to grow their hair.

Split ends are more likely to develop in dry or brittle hair, and typical causes of damage include excessive dying or vigorous brushing. Split ends sometimes occur because the protective hair oils do not reach the end of the hair shaft, causing it to split.

Having a regular trim will cut out the split ends and keep your hair manageable. Hair dryers with a high heat setting or hair straighteners can also cause this type of damage.

The best way to get rid of spilt ends is to cut them off. There is no other effective cure for split ends. The conditioner you use is also important in preventing split ends.
